Blind Assessment
A hint of cinnamon in the nose and cocoa in the finish, but the main pleasure here is the underlying structure: low-toned, rich, dry, balanced, and opulently, almost meatily, full-bodied.
Notes
Alpen Sierra is a mainly wholesale roaster founded in 1991 and located in the Lake Tahoe basin on the border between California and Nevada.
Who Should Drink It
If a coffee as exotic as a Sulawesi can be said to have a classic manifestation, this may be it: clean but big-bodied, rich and resonant.
